Practice And Exploration On Effective History Teaching In Senior High Schools

Since the implementation of new curriculum reform in 2001, the traditional teaching has been reformed with regard to the function, structure, content and management of curriculum. While overcoming the disadvantages of traditional teaching, new teaching methods and new editions of history teaching materials have emerged in succession. Beneath the surface phenomenon of class liveliness, some teachers just simply seek for active classroom atmosphere and ignore the essence of class teaching. As a result, the teaching quality deteriorates and the students express that they can hardly make progress or learn new knowledge.
